- Email me your name, return address, instrument.

- State the make, model, serial number (if appropriate), colour of the instrument.

- List nature of faults/menu of work you require.

- Include your contact details; home address, email, home, work & mobile phone numbers.

- Please be aware I will contact you with a quote and mention any other requirements before any work commences.

Make sure you use the correct address :

- 34 Restormel Road, Newlyn, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 5QP.

Some tips on how to pack your guitar properly :

- Sending any guitar through the post or by courier need not be a problem if you pack it properly! Handlers are frankly less than careful and are throwing our prized guitars in and out of vans like they are stacking logs of firewood!

- First of all, get hold of a sheet of bubble wrap - visit your local guitar shop as they are always taking delivery of guitar boxes stuffed with the stuff, they are usually only too happy to let you take them away for nothing.

Electric guitar without a case :

- First slacken off the strings slightly to relieve a bit of the tension.

- Next, remove the switch tip of the 3-Way or 5-Way switch and sellotape it to the pickguard or in a sealable bag.

- Slip a sheet of paper between the strings and the frets - strings can damage frets and pickups if they are knocked against them in transit.

- Obviously you will need to remove the tremolo arm, if fitted.

- Wrap bubble wrap carefully around the headstock and the rest of the guitar taking particular care with any exposed or pointed parts.

- Add as much packing as possible before sealing the box with strong tape.

- Put the recipients name and address on both sides of the box and also add your own details as Name, House Number and Post Code like this: 'Sender: F Bloggs, 12, Nowhere Street, G62 9HR' to help the courier deliver it back to you in case of delivery problems.

Sending a guitar in it’s own case :

- Please be aware that guitar necks have been known to break inside the case, so pack the guitar properly inside the case (as above) before sending.

- Stuff enough newspaper in the bottom of the box so it acts as a cushion for the bottom of the case to sit on.

- Add a layer of bubble wrap or strong paper around the case to avoid scuffs and to stop it from rattling inside the box.

AND PLEASE NOTE :

- I ADVISE YOU TO INSURE YOUR INSTRUMENT !

- PLEASE BE AWARE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING COSTS !

- I WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGE SUSTAINED ON EITHER JOURNEY WHEN THE INSTRUMENT IS NOT IN MY CARE.

Questions : please feel free to call first : 07812 178 469
